Improvement of the inhibitory effect of xanthones on NO production by encapsulation in PLGA nanocapsules

For the first time the inhibitory effect of xanthone and 3-methoxyxanthone on nitric oxide (NO) production by IFN-gamma/LPS activated J774 macrophage cell line is reported. A remarkable improvement of this effect promoted by encapsulation of these compounds in nanocapsules of Poly (DL-lactide-co-gly...
